Four days after the House of Commons recessed for the summer in June, five Conservative MPs found themselves far from Ottawa, dining at the famed Guinea Grill in the affluent Mayfair district of London, England. Their table, with nine other unidentified guests, enjoyed Porterhouse steaks, Chateaubriand and Scottish smoked salmon, according to disclosure reports the MPs later filed with the federal ethics commissioner.
In a dining room decorated with drawings of British lords and ladies, the table ordered up ten bottles of wine, including three of Bollinger Grand Année champagne at £360 each . Some diners chased down the feast with sticky toffee pudding and crème brûlée.
